Emerald ECU

[Danish]

I'm looking at buying an Emerald 'K6' ECU - initially to run a Pinto, with either an ex-Sierra manifold, or a Jenvey twin throttle body - the DCOE type. Later I want to use it with an ST225 T5 engine. I'll be using it mostly for road driving, but with occasional trips to Santa Pod. 

 

I wondered if anyone had any of experience of them to share, before I place an order?

Ah, 100 viewers and no one has any opinions?

Can't give a review as I haven't got one but it was on my buy list until a DTA came along at a steal it price! From playing with the software it seems to be a capable and easy to use unit but can't do sequential sparks from memory?

Thanks Katana. I'll check about the spark - the T5 has an odd number of cylinders so that has to have sequential.

Just checked and the latest K6 has 6 ign. drivers so should be able to handle 5 cylinders sequential ok

Anything that Dave Walker has touched is usually gold!

Thanks for that. He does seem good - we've been swapping emails all week, and I think I have a list of what I need now.

For the money, there is nothing better out there. I would want him to set it up himself though coz I'm like that lol

Ah, while I'm very happy for a rolling road guy to tune things up, I want to do most of the work myself. Currently I have an ex-Sierra ignition system, a Luminition rev limiter and an electric fan thermostat module. As a first stage I'm planning to replace all of those with the Emerald unit, as well as hooking up a lambda sensor and an ODB2 diagnostic port. I'll move onto fuel injection after all that lot is working.

Thanks for all the replies, I ordered this evening.

Has plenty of features for a road car, and can be configured to run pretty much any amount of cylinders.

 

I have the K6 on my VR6 Turbo, and does the job well enough

Just got one to replace my old mbe967ef in my 16v Mini. Had it a few months actually but need to gee myself up to get on with the wiring.
